such like things to him that may be matter of contentment to him but that Prophet of the Lord would not turn to the right hand or to the left for the King or for any other but what God did put into his mouth that he would speak and so it is generally that when the false Prophet doth arise among the People of God it is because of Gods people that are the cause of it and it is they that do set them up and maintain them and would have pillows laid under their elbows and why is it so why my Brethren even since it was that Eve did hearken to the voice of the Serpent And also the children of God are much given to novelties these are things that they never heard of before and if they may have these and those things spoken which they never heard of before this is all many care for though they are such things as came not cut of the mouth of God yet because they are new things and that please their ●u●ors therefore they affect them thus the Apostle Paul one would think an Apostle good enough yet there were many that were unsatisfied with him as in the Epistle to the Galatians we read bewitched with the false Teachers these give us say they the Gospel in this and that way c. however they did once look at the Apostle Paul as an Angel of God even as Christ Iesus but now the case was altered and now Paul was no body and come of him what would he might st●rve for all them they were carried away after those that ven●●d their new things Again the word of the Lord doth come with marvelous great power and might when it is dispensed as it should be and accompanied with the holy Spirit of God and men cannot go on so pleasingly and quietly in their sinful wayes c. but these P●ophets of God are ready to be upon their back● and sit upon their skirts tell them their own c. Again another reason is because the p●ople of God that live under the word of God where God is stretching forth his hands all the day long are through corruptio● in them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the things of God that because divers 〈◊〉 them have no● 〈◊〉 the truth of G●d 〈◊〉 the love of it for if they had received the tru●h in the love of it then they would abide still in that love of the 〈◊〉 and w●●●d not account any thing too good for the faithful M●… of God But there are Hypocrites that come into the C●… and 〈◊〉 in the same Pew● and seem to be very attentive and some●… speak such a word as this A br●v● S●… and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Sermon 〈◊〉 a ga●lant Sermon it was that 〈◊〉 ●eard to day c. b●● yet they never subjected themselves indeed to the truth of God and will not part with their lusts which they ●oster in their own bosoms and if they love no● the truth there is something else which they love surely and indeed it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 even as our Lord and Saviour Christ saith in the 5th of John 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 co●● in my Father● Nam● and ye receive m● not if another shall come in his own na●● him ye will receive and him they shall receive though it should be in the Devils name and now it is just for God himself to give them over to the believing of lies and to st●o●g d●●●sions and if there be one delusion more strong then another and more abominable then another yet it will go down with them as they that would have Barr●●b●s rather then Christ so it is with these that would not have the truth no● did receive it in the love of it The Devil himself of Hell cannot propos● to them 〈◊〉 lye more abominable then other but th●● will receive th●●am● and God is just in this Judgement upon them for d●llying with his truth and for their not receiving of it Satan is an enemy to God and an enemy to the truth and when the Co●● 〈◊〉 sow● in the field then that enemy comes and ●e sow● his ●ar●s he hath a great hand in stirring up such men as these and 〈◊〉 these Dreams into their heads and he will set up his Kingdome to pull down the blessed Kingdome of the Lord Jesus Christ thereby and he will have his Ministers and he will have deceiver● transforming himself into an Angel of light and he will come in the Name of God and in the name of Christ also even 〈◊〉 the ●agabond Jews Act. 19. and the sons of St●●a are said to do so There is nothing that the 〈◊〉 Prophets do but he will by turning himself into an Angel of light do the like The Devil spake that truth as it may be questioned whether there can be a better truth spoken concerning Jesus Christ i. e. thou art the holy One of God and so the Damosel we know that said these men are the Servants of the most high God which shew unto us the way of salvation could you have spoken better words than these but that was only to make way for the bringing forth other things that are in the pack c. Now saith the Lord do not you hearken to these Dreamers it is a very lamentable thing to see that any such Dreamers should arise as Quakers and Ranters and these and those that trouble the Churches of God but whom may we thank for it even Gods People in out Text God here saith you have caused these Dreamers thus to speak their Dreams i. e. by setting them up or countenancing them by not testifying against them God would have us seek to the Prophets but it is to those that indeed come in his Name and are sent by him and if we do despise his Servants we despise him but as when those that did adjure by Jesus whom Paul Preached it was said to them who are you so may the Lord say these and those that are sent in my Name I know but as for you these or those who are you But alas if God leave People to themselves what will they not come unto This is one reason of it also namely because People are ready to follow a multitude do you not see how they flock after them and like them very well and for your Ministers Ministers what are they and as Corah and his Company we can preach as well as you and we can offer Incense as well as you and Baptize as well as you c. yea but Christ saith you shall know them by their fruits but thus are they crying dow● and crying out against the faithful Ministers of God and if we look into this Chapter see what they say is there not Jeremiah that maketh himself a Prophet whereas it was not Man but God that made him a Prophet alas poor man he would have been glad to have been cut of the work but that God did call him to that work but they had rather have some
